they attract strongly. Imagine how different our world would be if certain cultures hadn’t collided. That’s what makes this question an interesting one to answer. First, I would like to talk about what happens when the cultures repel, and give some examples. In this unit we learned about colonization in the New World, which can be a great example. Some of the European nations went to war with the Native American Indians that lived in the New World in the 1500s, and won. The Indians were either
seventeenth century, colonization in the New World was based off of a wide range of different reasons, such as economical purposes. Rather than creating a centralized empire like Spain or France, “…the English crown awarded colonial charters to a wide variety of entrepreneurs, religious idealists, and aristocratic adventurers who established separate and profoundly different colonies” (Divine pg, 39). Since colonial charters were granted to founders of different colonies, colonization eventually became
The Age of Discovery was a period of time for the Old World to claim their own parts of newly found territory in the west in search for personal gain. Countries like Spain, Portugal, France, and England competed for land that was already inhabited, doing anything they could to get what they desired. Resulting from the European dominance in trade, exploration, and colonization, the most significant consequence of the Age of Discovery was the lasting harsh treatment of Native American and African people
The Colonization of the New World which occurred between 1492 – 1754 was one of the most important eras in shaping American history to where it is today. In determining the similarities and differences in the challenges the Spanish, French, and English faced with the Native Americans, one must assess the extent to which the cultures of the Spanish, French, and English were affected by the colonization of the New World. Politically, all three nations made a futile attempt to influence on the Native

Christopher Columbus a son of an Italian weaver from the Italian port of Genoa, was an Italian explorer and navigator. He was important because he discovered the New world and launched series of expeditions. Columbus exploration of the New world opened it up for the Spanish conquest, which
After Columbus's discovery of the New World in 1492, many European explorer and colonists sailed to the Americas for new opportunities and wealth. Some of them wanted land properties, some of them were in search of gold, and some of them did not wanted to stay in their own country. Coming to the Americas, they encounter with the Native Americans, and of course have developed thoughts about the different group of people in the new land. Those thoughts they have against the Native Americans were negative
also far from the first to reach the new world. There were dozens of groups of people to come to the Americas before him including Afro – Phoenicians and the Chinese; yet we still celebrate his voyage. We do this because we were taught at a young age that Columbus was a great man who worked hard to accomplish his goals, and it is hard to refute what we were taught when we were so young. Even though people were already here, Columbus “discovered” it for the Old World. From the two readings, I found
wondered what the world night be like without technology? People have come to rely more on it than they do themselves. Although many do not notice it, technology has taken over the world almost entirely. People naturally look for a way out of things that are hard and that is what this high tech machinery is doing for our society. It has definitely impacted the world socially.
